Michigan Sea Grant Environmental Internship

Description

Michigan Sea Grant is initiating an undergraduate internship program that will coordinate and fund undergraduate students from any accredited community college, college, or university in Michigan to work with private businesses, state and federal agencies, environmental non-profit organizations, or university faculty to plan or implement environmental stewardship in the Great Lakes.

Through this internship program, undergraduate students may propose projects they are interested in working on related to Great Lakes stewardship with sponsor organizations that will provide guidance and support for their research projects.

Additionally, preference will be given to applicants who have created an internship with an organization outside of an academic setting.
